MMAjunkie.com has a new friend, and we dig her so much that we thought we’d pass along some information about one of her autograph signings that takes place tomorrow in Las Vegas.

So, for all of you UFC fans out in Sin City for Saturday’s UFC 71 event, be sure to swing by the Big Apple Bar in New York-New York tomorrow from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. PT to see the lovely Anne Rivera, the 2007 Mickey’s spokesmodel.

Anne may be joined by The Ultimate Fighter 1 light heavyweight winner and UFC fan favorite Forrest Griffin at the signing.

I’ve been an email buddy of Anne’s for a few weeks now. In fact, I hope to have an interview with the 25-year-old posted here on the site in the next week or two (I just need to set up a time for us to chat). In addition to her Mickey’s title, Anne’s very dialed into the UFC community, and I think we’ll all be interested to hear about some behind-the-scenes happenings.

Additionally, Anne seems like a naturally sweet and friendly person who just happens to love all things UFC-related. She’ll fit right in around here.

If you’re in Vegas tomorrow, why not swing by for an autograph? And, of course, be sure to tell her MMAjunkie.com sent you. I think she’ll be amazed — and maybe a little impressed — by the size of our little community.

And if nothing else, it’ll score me some brownie points.

Also — get a photo with Anne, and if you hold up a little sign that says MMAjunkie.com and email it to me, maybe I’ll give you a shout-out on the here on the site. Hell, maybe we’ll crack open the MMAjunkie.com Prize Closet and dish out some cool stuff.

Finally, don’t forget that UFC 71 is just three days away! Stay tuned to MMAjunkie.com from now until fight night for the best UFC 71 coverage on the Web.
